Wanted: Trailer fabricator recommendation - Melbourne to Ballarat

[InMused]

I am gearing up to have my trailer fabricated in two months time.  I am looking for recommendations for a custom trailer fabricator for an off-road trailer.

Not a custom job, but sounds close to the "crusher" trailer made by Aussie Jays

They do use a bit of chequer plate and a swinging door, but might be able to adapt to you specs.

Yep. they are good and do good work..
They made the mud guards for my 33x12.5's on the box trailer while I waited.

I just had a trailer made by Europe trailers. Have a look at Scarps trailer which is similar to a CT.

These guys used to be at Yatala in Brissy and are now down near Melb.

They made my 7x4 box trailer quite a few years ago and it has been excellent.  Highly recommend their workmanship.

Before I bought the Heaslip I was looking to have a custom ct built. Sent an e-mail explaining what I wanted, then rang and spoke to the woman at Aussie Jays.
Short answer, not interested in building outside their standard designs.

Nah he said he wants some one good......maybe their custom built are better than their "stock" trailers ?

High sides for firewood. I will use it for swags and stuff if doing one nighter somewhere.

Maybe also drop in and see the guys at Marshall Engineering in Bacchus Marsh, i bought all the gear for a couple of boat trailers off them, they supply trailer parts and may be able to recommend someone for you

Another vote for Marshall, used them when I lived down south, and got family to drag a heap of bits up from them a few years ago.

I found the same. i wanted to buy their trailer but minus the tent. Same answer (rudely) not interested.
